No one can say for sure. There is also OpenGL3+ which could
expose/hide some features...
Maybe we should allow requesting minimum bitmap size with:
al_set_new_display_option(ALLEGRO_MAX_BITMAP_SIZE, <value>, ALLEGRO_REQUIRED)
Then al_create_display() could give you D3D, OpenGL or some third
driver if you don't specify a flag. That would be neat. It's same for
some other options. After all, users should not care which driver is
being used as long as they get all the required features.

I agree. But that's just a little inconsistency.
